Lake View Hospital History

Lake View Hospital was founded in 1956, funded by donations and government
assistance through the Hill-Burton Fund. The hospital opened its doors
to patient care in July 1957. Over the years, Lake View Hospital has grown
as the city of Two Harbors has grown, expanding to meet the needs of our
community.

In 1993–1994, Lake View Hospital built and opened an assisted living
facility. Ten years later, Lake View discontinued this service, due to
changes in Minnesota assisted living and home care licensure at a time
when Lake View was also trying to understand and respond to health care
reform. After careful consideration, the facility was closed and the property
put up for sale, allowing Lake View to remain focused on its core services:
providing our community with primary care, emergency and hospital care,
and outpatient services.
